I don't want the last line of each paragraph justified
Hello,
I am writing a rather large document and only now I have decided to have the text justified rather than left alignment. However each time I try, Word justifies the last line of each paragraph and so it looks rather silly each final line looking somewhat like this. Can anyone help me with this? I want the text to be justified, yes, but have each line at the end also with words spaced normally, as in a normal book or article. Thank you, sincerely, Jules |

Make sure that you created true paragraphs, that is, that you have pressed Enter
at the end of each paragraph. If you used a line break (Shift+Enter), then what you describe would happen. To see what is going on, you should show nonprinting marks, for example by pressing the ¶ button on the Home tab (Word 2007) or the Standard toolbar (Word 97-2003). Paragraph marks display as pilcrows (¶). For more on nonprinting marks, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JLapprand" wrote in message ...

I don't want the last line of each paragraph justified
In addition to what Stefan has said (which is most likely the issue), make
sure you "justified" the text with Ctrl+J (if you used a keyboard shortcut). If you happened to press Ctrl+Shift+J, which is the Distribute Text command, you would also get the result you describe. -- Suzanne S.

Since Jules describes spacing between words rather than between individual
letters, I concluded that DistributePara couldn't be the culprit, but I guess it's worth investigating... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Ah, right you are. It just seems that every time this sort of question comes
up and I post to advise checking that the paragraph breaks are really that and not line breaks, someone always comes behind me and brings up the Distribute Para issue. -- Suzanne S.
